Daughter of Clabourn Lawrence and Catherine Guyton.

Wife of Lazarus Quin Griffin.

Mother of Mary, William Isaac, Joseph Albert, Katherine A., Claborn D. and Alabama.

Martha and Lazarus Quin are buried in the family plot, near three of their infant children, in the Prude Cemetery, Hunter, DeSoto Parish, LA. This cemetery is located between Mansfield and Logansport, LA and cannot be seen from Hwy 84. It is a small cemetery in a clearing in the woods. Over all, it was fairly well maintained. From junction Hwy 171 south and 84 west in Mansfield, travel west on Hwy 84, about 8 miles, turn right on Blount Mill Road. About 1/2 block, turn right again on Prude Cemetery Road (dirt road behind a house). When we visited the cemetery, 1/11/2005, their markers had, long ago, broken away from their base and were laying flat on the ground. Grass was growing over and partially covering both of the markers.
His marker inscribed "Gone Home" Quin Griffin with his birth and death date. Her marker inscribed, Martha A. Wife of L.Q. Griffin with her birth/death date and "There is rest in Heaven".
